WASHINGTON, March 19 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Financial Information Services Division (FISD) of the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA) announced today that it has partnered with LakeFront Data Ventures to launch a comprehensive data management and financial information salary survey.

The goal of collecting salary survey data from industry professionals is to provide the financial services sector with current information. This type of data is particularly critical now as the financial information services arena continues to evolve.

Survey data points will include the collection of constituency information, job categories and function areas, geographic region, base and bonus compensation, job skills and years of experience.

According to Tom Davin, FISD Vice President and Managing Director, "We are pleased to be partnered with LakeFront Data Ventures on this important survey, as it is a logical fit for our overall strategy to recognize financial data management as a specialized industry. All industry professionals are encouraged to participate."

Dale Richards, CEO of LakeFront Data Ventures, added, "After launching the industry job board we realized that this type of survey and data collection would be a natural asset to the industry. By partnering with the FISD we anticipate reaching a broader group of participation." The survey is available at www.fisd.net/salarysurvey and participation is open to all market data and financial services professionals, with summary results due during summer 2009. Summary results will be available free of charge.
